(2,654 posts)By doing so, the political right knew they had the perfect stooge.
And Scalia was put in charge of handling him.

But truth is their kryptonite.
That's why they squeal like stuck pigs when they hear it and try to talk over it, like that scumbag in the video did to Hakeem.

(81,310 posts)He's been one of the bright lights of the Democratic Party for awhile. Smart, well-spoken, good reputation, a real "guided muscle"! I bet he'd be a good fit whenever Nancy Pelosi decides to retire.
This was magnificent.

(35,685 posts)On our local public radio and I never miss him. He speaks just like this, saying the truth whether anyone else wants to hear it or not.
I absolutely loved this. Makes my day.
Yes, Hakeem would make a fearless leader to follow in Nancys footsteps.

(23,350 posts)Thomas has his position for life. Nothing can be done about it, other than expanding the court, and that won't happen.
Hakeem may be "done with" Clarence, but Clarence is not "done" with us.

(7,282 posts)curious about the gavel interruption.
wondering why a Democrat would do that in this context?

(6,182 posts)It was so blatant that Justice Thomas had to know what she was doing. The fact that he took no action to stop her makes him a part of the insurrection also.
He's a Supreme Court Justice! And his wife attempted to overthrow the government!
His lack of action amounted to consent. Unfortunately there is no chance he will be removed, outside of indictment and conviction. Impeachment and removal is impossible, given the current Senate makeup.

(32,707 posts)If he had any integrity or any shame whatsoever, he would. And if that Court had any legitimacy whatsoever, his fellow refug justices would be pressuring him day in and day out to resign. Look how low of a bar tfg has set for our country. Anything goes!
Oh well. We can only do our part, which I suppose is to start impeachment proceedings?
